Bluetooth range hack...

[AlCapone]

Whatever BT chip BA uses, I assume that the horrible, useless range is a result of a poorly placed/designed loop antenna on the PCB.

Does anyone else think that this should be able to fix ?

I can solder "anything" size does not really matter..

I am thinking about the possibility to make a wire-loop onside the shell... and use it as antenna ..

how many meters ? (between handsfree & BA - before scratchy noise ?)

[andrew.harris]

I get about a meter before it starts to crackle. Thats with the new 1.13 Radio ROM.

I get about 3 meters before I get bad crackling and 4+ meters before it is unusable with WM5 and radio 1.13
